¶ … safety hazards, from fires to natural disasters and I think we can view violence as another one after things like Sandy Hook. I know the buildings in the area sometimes need to be modified to withstand the natural disasters, and there are stringent fire codes as well. Things like asbestos would have been replaced by newer flame retardants. The violence issue has not really been dealt with. I'm not sure what the best solution here is, and I think that the school administrators are unsure as well.
Journal 3. I grew up in a multicultural community and we took learning about other cultures as second nature. I cannot think of a better approach. Health and safety have nothing to do with culture -- these are universal. Nutrition is a little different because kids eat so differently at home in different cultures. I had a Japanese friend and learned about sushi. When discussing nutrition in school, teachers definitely need to take into account that people from different cultures eat different things. You simply cannot talk about Western foods only to a multicultural audience, because it lacks relevance. The same can be said for other...
Teach a little bit of their history and culture, so that everybody has a better understanding.
Page 2 Journal 4. Nutrition is important at all ages, but especially at young age. So much of a child's growth occurs early, and it is at the younger ages when nutrition can have its greatest impact on how strong the child's body and mind are. Further, there is evidence to suggest that childhood obesity is very hard to reverse later in life (Ebbeling, Pawlak and Ludwig, 2002). Food allergies are a different matter. There are a few important ones to bear in mind, but those children and their parents have a responsibility to ensure that the school is aware of the allergy. It is important to know about these things so that we can help keep children safe.
Journal 5. There are a lot of great snacks. The Internet is full of snack ideas, and I would change the snacks frequently so that kids have exposure to lots of food and do not get bored. Dried fruits and nuts are wonderful. Fresh fruit makes for a good snack. There are some…

A b) Event management People react differently when faced with disaster, some may respond and follow the disaster response plan without a problem, other may forget key instructions and follow their own plans, the most dangerous situations however, are when individuals freeze and fail to act when disaster strikes. Response before, during and after a disaster can be the difference between life and death. (Bridegan et al., 1997) Failure to heed
Disaster Preparedness Plan: Georgia has been an area threatened by some of form of natural disaster that has a huge negative impact on the well-being of its residents and the personnel and financial resources of the emergency response agencies. The most common natural disaster that occurs in this area is tornadoes that have terrorized both the rural and urban areas while making everyone in danger of their perils. In the recent
Disaster and Internation Agencies Countries face increased risk from a full range of known to unknown crisis. Disaster consequences have greater severe effects on populations and environments. The governments try their level best to take action to prepare for and mitigate the effects of this natural, technological and intentional hazard. Although efforts have been invested in curbing the occurrences of this hazard it still becomes difficult, not only to local response

Hazard Mitigation and Preparedness (U.S. Federal Programs: Advantages and Disadvantages) The confrontations and prospects for the reduction of hazards/disasters have never been greater than in the current period. In theory, the challenge is to do away with all disasters that cause the loss of life or injury to people along with the property and environment damage. On the other hand, such a goal is not possible to achieve practically. Although it
Fire Safety Management The purpose of this paper is to explore several key concepts related to Fire Safety Management. Specifically this paper aims to explore the following concepts in greater detail: Fire protection/suppression systems, Building Construction and Exit Drill in the Home (EDITH) and other Home Safety Programs. Fire technology has expanded in recent years, providing for important fire safety management components. This includes construction of more fire retardant buildings and implementation
